New Enkei 92s for Gus: Silver or Black?

I'm going to be swapping Gus, my 1985 GS, over to a full GSL-SE suspension. I have all the parts already to do the swap. After changing over the suspension, I am going to be putting some nice Enkei mesh wheels on. However, I can't make up my mind. Which color do you guys like better on a red FB? I usually like black centers better. But for some reason on a red FB I think the silver looks really nice. Tell me what you think! I need help breaking the tie!

silver looks great, but the black isn't horrible either.

Maybe gold?
The silver looks better than the black IMO.

The silver shows off the great look of those wheels. just my opinion. That said I like the gold also and the black third. But I like them all. Do they make these to fit my SE?

The black looks a lot less rice or donk. Plus the black won't be a pain in the **** to clean off
brake dust, which you will have on all 4 wheels when you make the swap.
